I can live with that.

Millen strikes again!!!

Millen must have step out of the office for a few minutes and the only smart guy in the organization (maintenance worker) made the deal.

Haha! Very possible but now that posters have broken down the details it is starting to look like Millen did indeed have something to do with it.

If Calvin Johnson is sitting there at the #2 pick, and the Lions don't take him, then Matt Millen should have the word "MORON" tattooed across his forehead. I like Joe Thomas at all, but CJ is a playmaker, the real deal. Thomas would anchor the right side of Detroit's line, sure, but will not have the impact that CJ would have. Now, however, the rumors are that Oakland will take him. They'd be smart to do so. Best player in the draft.

I don't like the deal myself.

CB is a tough position to fill, and you certainly can't do it right out of the draft - it takes a couple of years to develop them, it seems. Did any drafted CB get 8 starts last year? RB is viewed as an 'instant gratification' position. I can think of 3 RBs off the top of my head that got the majority (or close to it) of carries for their team.

I know the stakes are different but...Champ vs Portis...I'm taking Champ.

wrt Millen picking CJ - this is the one year he probably should, but you know he just can't...
